Impact⚓︎

The data collected during this event directly supports:

  • Accessible routing — improved trip planning for wheelchair users, people in the blind/low-vision community, and others with mobility needs through AccessMap
  • Pedestrian navigation — more complete sidewalk and crossing data enables safer, more accurate walking and rolling directions
  • Open data — a richer, freely available dataset for Vancouver, WA and the surrounding region
